CALDWELL, Idaho — Property owners in Canyon County have approved three of the four proposed noise walls as part of an Interstate 84 expansion project.
The Idaho Transportation Department proposed four locations for the noise walls and three were approved.
This is a list of the approved ones.
•Along eastbound I-84 adjacent to the Indian Creek Estates
•Along the westbound on-ramp at Franklin Road
•Along westbound I-84 between Centennial Way and 10th Avenue
A fourth wall along eastbound I-84 between Centennial Way and 10th Avenue failed to win 50 approval from nearby residents.
"The decision whether or not to build noise walls belongs to those adjacent owners and residents who are shown to be affected by future traffic noise," said ITD Transportation Program Manager Amy Schroeder.
The walls will be designed using concrete panels between 12 and 16 feet high.
ITD is investing more than $330 million into I-84 in Canyon County over the next several years.
The public is invited to a community meeting about the project on Oct. 17 at the Caldwell Best Western (908 Specht Ave.) from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.
